Ahhh, you just lit my light...

Is this the RoF forum or what?

Seriously, people are comparing CoD to a sim that was in development for quite a long time itself, has a two year head-start with its own share of problems many of which have not yet been fixed (the aircraft "dots" pop into view at 2km or so which messes up situational awareness in a fight, that's why you can have cool terrain with no pop-up, this is about to get fixed now after a whole 2+ years) and all the cool stuff everyone is harping about was developed AFTER its release by charging the community for every single individual content enhancement except the avgas needed to fly the planes :-P

If you want to make accurate comparisons maybe you should pretend that CoD ships with 4 flyables, send $7.6 to 1c for every extra flyable and wait a couple of years, or build a time machine or something, because at the moment it just amounts to dealing cards from a stacked deck and acting surprised at the outcome.

If people want to judge by double standards it's fine by me, they just shouldn't expect it to have the same value as it would if they were judging both sims by the same criteria at similar points during their life.

OK lets make a bottom line....ROF is very playable on my rig...and CLOD isnt....and I have i7920@3.5Ghz, GTZ 470 twinfrozr2 OC to 750Mhz on core, 6 GIGs of RAM (resolution is 1680x1050)....yes I tried all tricks and tweaks and my richie HW and SW experince...end of the story

**sets up popcorn stand**

''roll up, roll up...get yer popcorn here and grab a chair, your in for a treat''

take the corns after US release...you will need it hehe

I dont understand why. Must be something fishy with your system.
I have a I7 930@4 GHz and a GTX 480 and it runs everything at high and 1920x1200 resolution pretty smooth. 12 GB of RAM (had 6 before and there is no real diffrenc noticeable). OS is WIN 7 64 Premium.
I use 14.305 patch since the latest one makes problems in multiplayer.

Winger

No patch today, maybe next week some new words when patch is out:rolleyes:

Im talking about last beta which causes slowdowns online....the beta before the last was much smoother, thats true...still even there I have slowdowns when plane in front of me catches fire (when I hit him). So I stand corrected...a bit.

btw, nothing fishy with my rig it runs other games/sims smooth as silk...including the most demanding....

RoF is a modern sim. If you want to compete against the best you at least need to come close. Clod has not. It will I am sure but currently it is falling flat. It needs the il2 community to adopt it as the official replacement to Il2 1946. It does not look like that will happen anytime soon.
So forget about it competing against RoF it cannot really compete against Il2 1946 + mods and that can only be because the developers believed their own hype. They forgot that at least 60% of il2 1946 is community made...

OT:
I downloaded ROT trial version about a year ago probably when it was quite a mature sim already. It did not have any online servers I could enjoy flying. Only a handful of servers with very strange capture the flag mission as in some arcade FPS shooters. So I deleted it.

I purchased IL-2:COD about 2 months ago. It did not have any online servers I could enjoy flying. Only a handful of servers with very strange missions. But it had an engine open for endless possibilities, FMB and C# scripting. So I created an online mission I can enjoy flying not knowing anything on FMB or C# 2 only months ago.

No comments just a little story.

The mission runs on Repka DS#1 server btw. Go and check it out for yourself. The proof of pudding is in the eating :grin:
